A cockpit that can grow new screens — but only ones you approve
The cockpit isn't frozen — it can grow. AI agents can propose new views. But two structural rules keep that safe: any new view draws from the same single source (so it can't show invented data), and adding a view is a gated proposal you approve or deny — never a silent change.
The full detailed chart. Condensed for print legibility in the book; shown here at full size.
An extensible cockpit that lets anything add a screen is a liability. One that grows only through approved proposals, all drawing from one truthful source, extends without ever escaping your control.

What this means for you
The cockpit can grow new views, but each is truthful-by-source and approved like any proposal. What this means for you: your cockpit can adapt and improve over time without ever becoming a backdoor — every new screen draws from the same honest source and exists only because you approved it.
A proposed new view is gated and bound to the same single source:

ⓘDeterministic demonstration. The conversation is a faithful dramatization of the exercise; the receipt is the artifact it produces — the same every time, because the system is receipted. (Representative of the demo's structure; the production page renders the captured run.) No output here is fabricated. A live "run it yourself" mode is coming.
